Castello Banfi
Banfi was founded in 1978 in Montalcino, Tuscany by the Mariani brothers. Assisted by one of Italy’s foremost enologists Ezio Rivella, their philosophy uses the most advanced science available. This quickly established an excellent reputation for their state of the art winery.

James Suckling (97)Lots of dried bark, cinnamon stick, forest floor and earth add to an impression of dried cherries and sandalwood. But there are also hints of caramelized oranges and preserved lemons. The attack on the palate takes immediate effect; the powerful tannins pucker the edges of the mouth with imposing depth, but equally fascinating detail. This is a robust, take-no-hostages style of Brunello with a modern twist of finesse and tension. Drink from 2025. |
